    Thanks Gentlemen. I can't complain by any means, but that Johnson RIP card is what saved it for me. Again, I hope retail is good to me.

    you should find the person who was trying to sell the Castro card from last year, maybe your card will cheer him up.

    He will definitely be missed .

    That is a nice flag pull Randy , it is about time too, you're right .

    Maybe the tides have turned ?

    I sure hope so .

    I'm going to visit my guy maybe tonight and see what's happeneing over in his new store , he put in 2 giant screen LCD TV's so I can bet the prices will be higher , but I don't care he takes great care of us .

    Jeez, I'm gone for a few days and I miss a Wooly Mammoth! Sweet pull!

    I've been up here in the Philadelphia area visiting family and in NYC to check out a Yankees game for the past week or so, but I can't wait to get back home and do some trading. I'm planning on busting one more hobby box or at least a few blasters once I get home so I should be good to go after that.

    As you all probably know, I'm looking to pick up MOST Braves and Rays, especially Chipper and Crawford, and I'll be willing to buy or trade if the price is right.

    Nothing is wrong with you it is completely normal to be obsessed with A&G. However if you need to go to rehab give me a call, I know a guy.

    << <i>Hi Bill, my name is Jason. My second case should arrive today or tomorrow. I've had family visiting for the last week and have been getting up at 5 a.m. to open Allen & Ginter before everyone wakes up. Welcome to the club. >>



    I spend several hours each day thinking about my case configurations and what might be in each box/pack. Then, before I open those packs/boxes, I have a special chant that I say. Then I tap the pack/box 2 times - once on the front and once on the back. Then I kiss the pack seal before I open it. Still... I seem to never get what I'm looking for, but I know if I don't do this, then there is no way I'll ever get the cards I am looking for.

    I'm in the process of quilting an A&G wrapper blanket. So far I've put together 350 wrappers from this year. I am attaching them to the 1027 wrappers that I already put towards the project from my 2006 & 2007 breaks. I may go back and make it double thick so I can start using it in the winter as well.

    I've wallpapered my office wall with the checklists that come 1 per box. So far, I have half of the office completely covered with them. It looks pretty cool with all the pen marks I have put on them over the years for the 84 master and base sets I have made of this product from my breaks.

    I've finally saved up enough A&G boxes to heat my house for the entire winter this year. I will burn them in the fireplace at night and we will all huddle under the wrapper blanket to keep warm.

    I have a shoebox full of relic cards from 2006-2008 that I won't sell for .99 cents each on ebay, so they just sit in my closet.

    Serious. I just started working on it today...if you have all the cards, it appears like it's fairly easy to do. Without them, impossible. I'm going to keep trying though.

    That's an interesting point about the AAGPBL. Seems like a natural one to me, plus you can get them signed!
